    @Littlebit: Nope, the second iui for us! We tried it back in June for the first time - I got pregnant but then miscarried. Last month was an unmedicated cycle, but now we're back on Clomid+iui. I am hoping that we will finally get the wheels off the ground this time!

    @Raindrop: ha! Your cheerleader thing is so cute!

    Yay, I've been waiting for this thread to pop up!

    Cycles Trying: 6
    Current Cycle Day: 13
    Estimated Ovulation Date: hopefully CD 16-17ish
    POAS Date: October 10th on CD28, although I'm sure I'll cave and do it earlier!
    BD Timing: lots
    Anything new or extra this cycle? Trying to do everything exactly the same as last cycle, since last cycle was the first I actually ovulated early enough to have a long enough LP to have a chance. So, same extras, aka throwing everything I can at TTC: 100mg Clomid, Guaifenesin, FertilAid and FertilCM supplements, Pre-seed, ovulation and LP support herbs prescribed by my acupuncturist, weekly fertility acupuncture, using OPKs 2x a day, and Pro-gest cream in the LP.

    I'll join!
    We are trying for #2 and need some encouragement. I'm 39 and my husband is the big 4-0. With our first LO, it happened the first month we tried and now we've been trying for about 8 cycles. And we aren't getting any younger! My LO is now 2 and he will make such an awesome older brother.
    And I love rooting for everyone on these threads- total lurker.

    Cycles Trying: about 8
    Current Cycle Day: CD4
    Estimated Ovulation Date: around cycle day 14-- last time I got KO, I had no idea and just counted to mid-cycle and made sure we BD around then and bam- it worked. This time? Not so much.
    POAS Date: October 19th
    BD Timing: Sperm meets the egg plan-- I showed the plan to my husband and we now have a clearblue fertility moniter and test strips arriving today from Amazon. He's ready and doing anything to help! We are bringing out the big guns.
    Anything new or extra this cycle? OKP's and the monitor and sperm meets egg plan

    Bonus Question: What is your favorite holiday?
    I love cozy holidays so Thanksgiving and Christmas-- twinkling lights and festive songs.

    This is my first time posting on this thread! Exciting!

    Cycles Trying: This is our fourth cycle
    Current Cycle Day: CD 13
    Estimated Ovulation Date: Not sure yet, this is my first cycle using CBDOPK. Hopefully sometime between CD14-20.
    POAS Date: TBD by OPK, but hopefully around October 12.
    BD Timing: SPEM! (or as my husband calls it, sperm meets eggplant)
    Anything new or extra this cycle? OPK and SPEM
    Link to your chart (if you have one and want to share): No chart. I don't wake up the same time every day due to my varying work schedule.

    Bonus Question: What is your favorite holiday? Nothing in particular, actually. Weird.

    Cycles Trying: This is #3

    Current Cycle Day: 10

    Estimated Ovulation Date: I think things are still regulating a bit post BC, but based on last month around CD17

    POAS Date: I'm going to try and hold out until 12DPO, so October 14th

    BD Timing: SMEP style - every other day until + OPK, then more!

    Anything new or extra this cycle? Trying to relax a little, or a lot actually! The first two go-rounds were pretty stressful for me, so I am going to try and just take a whatever-will-be-will-be approach. I think it is working because I have completely forgotten to temp a few mornings - bad for charting, but good for not waking up all night worrying about it.
